An end to the profligate waste of resources via mandatory standards which ensure energy efficiency and sustainable agriculture, manufacturing, recycling, transport and waste management

An immediate end to all ecocidal business practices (including industrial scale animal agriculture, farming and fishing) and commencement of large-scale regenerative farming, re-afforestation and re-vegetation projects to restore natural ecosystems and sequester more than a century of legacy carbon trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere

Acknowledgement that:

disadvantaged developing nations have done little to contribute to climate change and bear less responsibility than advanced economies

as a nation that has caused climate change, Australia should provide disadvantaged developing nations with fair assistance to implement the changes required and to cope with the impacts of climate change

Laws that facilitate demands 1 to 5 above including:

the imposition of absolute caps on fossil fuel extraction and combustion to ensure that fossil fuels remain in the ground save where extraction is absolutely necessary

a requirement that polluters must pay for the true costsof the pollution that they emit

carefully tailored just transition programs to support and retrain all workers who are impacted by the necessary changes

the rapid creation of a substantial sustainability fund via an equitable levy to assist disadvantaged developing nations to make the necessary changes and to cope with climate related disasters

a requirement that all Australian commercial lenders make at least 20% of their loans in the form of micro financing for environmentally and socially sustainable projects proposed by and for local communities

immediate amendment of all free trade agreement ISDS clauses to ensure that they do not compromise the above steps
